Guest host from Sacramento, a conservative columnist. Said his wife, I assume an attorney, was representing a "commuter" alien in some action or other. Guy gets scooped up, deported, and he's back in 30 days or so. Has a house purchased with the liars' loan program a couple years ago. Can't, or won't, make his payments, but is now able to get out of the deal for something like $50G in his pocket to take back to Mexico. I can't speak to the details of how this is possible. Rat told us it was happening, so I'm not totally blindsided.<BR/><BR/>Tom McClintock opposed Arnold in the primaries back when Gray Davis was kicked out. Arnold prevailed based on his popularity. McClintock is smart, competent, and trustworthy. The party had rallied around Swartzeneger as the more likely to carry it off vs Davis, as I recall. I think I voted for Tom in the primary, and Arnold later. Arnie's disappointed everyone in his own party, far as I can tell. Tom made a run at State Controller, and is now a state senator. California politics is a zoo, as you know. If I didn't have things to tend to here, I'd sign on with your Idaho folks going to Colorado.linearthinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201292791445921817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-67865934525959483592008-10-03T22:47:00.000-04:002008-10-03T22:47:00.000-04:00"Democracy is coming, to the USA" a little more Do...<A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWka3rZE3zI&feature=related" REL="nofollow">"Democracy is coming, to the USA"</A> a little more Don Henley, singing Leonard Cohen's Democracy.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-53793358501529284422008-10-03T22:41:00.000-04:002008-10-03T22:41:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-77878026254974366522008-10-03T22:22:00.000-04:002008-10-03T22:22:00.000-04:00Plan B?AmericaLove it or leave it.I hear people ta...Plan B?<BR/><BR/>America<BR/>Love it or leave it.<BR/><BR/><I>I hear people talkin' bad, <BR/>About the way we have to live here in this country,<BR/>Harpin' on the wars we fight, <BR/>An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.<BR/>An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides, <BR/>An' standin' up for things they believe in.<BR/>When they're runnin' down my country, man, <BR/>They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me. <BR/>Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.<BR/>Runnin' down the way of life,<BR/>Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.<BR/>If you don't love it, leave it:<BR/>Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.<BR/>If you're runnin' down my country, man,</I><BR/><A HREF="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5870572773183255666&ei=htLmSJq3KZnWqAOLstzhBA&q=You%27re+walkin+on+the+fightin+side+of+me" REL="nofollow">You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.</A>desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-19795907808162688562008-10-03T22:09:00.000-04:002008-10-03T22:09:00.000-04:00All that mattered in the Election of '08 was the S...All that mattered in the Election of '08 was the Senate.<BR/>The last firewall.<BR/><BR/>Maverick's flame out was almost a given, he is playing true to form.<BR/><BR/>We'll see what we will see.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-79179687916403098932008-10-03T22:05:00.000-04:002008-10-03T22:05:00.000-04:00wi"o" has been telling us that those legions of ac...wi"o" has been telling us that those legions of activists are unimportant, that they will not effect the outcome.<BR/><BR/>Those folk that gave $10, $20, maybe even $50 bucks, they'll be of no account, too<BR/><BR/>They won't show up on game day.<BR/><BR/>No worries, mates.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-63609315542785802352008-10-03T21:57:00.000-04:002008-10-03T21:57:00.000-04:00The Democrats have gotten good, at get out the vot...The Democrats have gotten good, at get out the vote.<BR/><BR/>Bush and Rove thought they had it licked.
